Malcolm Lewis: If you like crime noir you'll love this. Written in 1963, this is the first novel in the Parker series. I consumed it one greedy gulp this morning. I loved the fast-paced plot and the spare, no-frills prose. Apparently the basis of the 1967 movie Point Blank starring Lee Marvin and already added to my Netflix queue.

Check out the Amazon reviews for more opinions.

I'm delighted to see there are another 10+ Parker novels. I'll be reading them all in the very near future.

Malcolm Lewis: The Scottish police track a serial killer on the loose in Aberdeen. “The Flesher” wears a Margaret Thatcher mask and a butcher’s apron and has a butcher’s skill with blades: his victims are professionally bled, skinned, and sectioned. Not for the faint of heart.

If you like Ian Rankin, author of the Rebus books set in Edinburgh, then give Stuart MacBride a shot. I dropped this off at the library and picked up his first two, Cold Granite and Dying Light, for immediate consumption.
Graham King:
Sound horrible. I'm feeling rather unwell just reading your review.
